Although splintering into two distinct personalities was questionable at best, there is still enough of something for anyone looking back or forward in the minor rap revolution this group single-handedly spearheaded. Obviously I gravitate towards the distinct flavors Andre3000 pursued on his sometimes over-labored, sometimes undercooked effort. When the conscious creative strain is not apparent however, TLB still stands as a singular piece of hip-hop influenced experimentation. Big Boi nicely compliments Dre's outlandish persona with the focus adhering to more straight ahead southern rap with enough stand out tracks to warrant the Outkast label.

This album is probably one of the greatest hiphop albums of all times. Go and buy it.
